I have the key but posting a picture would be a breach in security.

Imagine this: 3/4 of a circle, with abloy-classic style cuts in 1/4 of the circle.

How is it that you scrubbed the lock open? I didn't think that worked on those types of locks,

The picture i am waiting for is the picture of the OP's lock, ive seen the actual locks before but not the 'Proof of ownership' picture from the OP yet,

scrubing these is easy to believe, there are only three discs, and they are not the thin discs of an abloy, they are thick. everything about this lock is heavy but simple.

I believe no false gates, either.

Over at yahoo groups, locksports group, bobgolding has put a complete breakdown in a number of photos on the photoalbums area, I bellieve that you do not have to join to look at the photo albums.

i was joking when i said i scrubbed it. I actually opened it with the bent tang of a hand file.

[raimundo]

well that makes more sense than scrubbing which is all sound and fury signifiying nothing, I was also wrong about not haveing to join that locksports site to see the pictures, I guess they changed the rulz, the photos are still there though, a complete breakdown and parts displayed. also key and pick

now come to think about it, these locks were not meant to "really" provide pick reisitance, but more forced entry resistance. Wow good job by the way scurbbing the lock open. Well it only has 3 disks....hope to get my hands on one though...it looks cool!

P.S ths site mentioned the lock has electroless nickel plating...wats with that, is there some kind of layer of steel or ?

[blackfoot]

cheap thats why it peels off in a couple of years ...........real nickle is expensive to do anymore.that kind of plate is better for the envirement than the nickle plating that lasts a hundred years or so.
